Cryptarch

Crypto-archeologists decode the past and our enemies, seeking new discoveries in matter Engrams and Artifacts returned by Guardians.

Each Social Space has their own Cryptarch. Cryptarchs are NPC's that deciphers Engrams and turn them into weapons, armor, and other items. Players can also purchase Legendary Engrams from them for Legendary Marks. Cryptarchs also give players Glimmer for certain Consumables (i.e. House Banner).
